We analyzed how to test flavor and helicity structures of the corresponding amplitudes in view of future data, motivated by the recent hints of lepton flavor universality violation observed in semileptonic B decays. The general assumption that non-standard effects are controlled by a U(2)5 flavor symmetry, minimally broken as in the Standard Model Yukawa sector, leads to stringent predictions on leptonic and semileptonic B decays. Future measurements will allow to prove or falsify this general hypothesis independently of its dynamical origin.

Flavons are the dynamic agent of flavor symmetry breaking and have flavor changing couplings to the Standard Model (SM) fermions. We consider their contributions to the lepton flavor violating (LFV) decays [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] with [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] or [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] in the simplest flavon model without Higgs-flavon mixing. We find that flavons can produce significant contributions to some of these LFV decay processes.

Abstract We investigate the sensitivity of electron-proton (ep) colliders for charged lepton flavor violation (cLFV) in an effective theory approach, considering a general effective Lagrangian for the conversion of an electron into a muon or a tau via the effective coupling to a neutral gauge boson or a neutral scalar field. For the photon, the Z boson and the Higgs particle of the Standard Model, we present the sensitivities of the LHeC for the coefficients of the effective operators, calculated from an analysis at the reconstructed level. As an example model where such flavor changing neutral current (FCNC) operators are generated at loop level, we consider the extension of the Standard Model by sterile neutrinos. We show that the LHeC could already probe the LFV conversion of an electron into a muon beyond the current experimental bounds, and could reach more than an order of magnitude higher sensitivity than the present limits for LFV conversion of an electron into a tau. We discuss that the high sensitivities are possible because the converted charged lepton is dominantly emitted in the backward direction, enabling an efficient separation of the signal from the background.

A model of lepton flavor symmetry is discussed, using the non-Abelian finite group T7 and the gauging of B-L, which has a residual Z3 symmetry in the charged-lepton Yukawa sector, allowing it to be observable at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) from the decay of the new Z' gauge boson of this model to a pair of scalar bosons which have the unusual highly distinguishable final states τ- τ- μ+ e+.

Lepton flavor violating (cLFV) decays of charged leptons such as \(\tau\rightarrow \mu\gamma\), \(\tau\rightarrow e\gamma\), \(\mu\rightarrow e\gamma\),..., are now the subjects of experiments as signals of new Physics beyond the Standard Model (SM). In the limit of the unitary gauge, we prove that contributions from one loop corrections to the above decays are very small in the framework of the economical 3-3-1 model.

Recently, many discrepancies between the Standard Model (SM) predictions and experimental results have been found in [Formula: see text] quark transitions. Motivated by these discrepancies, we investigated the semileptonic [Formula: see text] decay in [Formula: see text] model. In this paper, we have estimated different decay observables such as branching ratio, lepton flavor universality (LFU) ratio [Formula: see text] and forward–backward asymmetry in the SM as well as in the [Formula: see text] model. In [Formula: see text] model, we find significant deviations from the SM for the observables except for the forward–backward asymmetry. This deviation gives us a possible indication of new physics (NP).

I explain the theoretical connection between lepton flavor violation and muon g - 2 in supersymmetry1. Given any central value deviation of muon g - 2 from the standard model that is assumed to be due to weak scale supersymmetry, I show that stringent bounds on lepton flavor violating scalar masses can be extracted. These bounds are essentially independent of supersymmetric parameter space. I then briefly compare this indirect handle on supersymmetric lepton flavor violation with direct observation at a future lepton collider operating in the e- e- mode. This is a summary of a talk given at e- e-01: 4th International Workshop on Electron-Electron Interactions at TeV Energies.

Precise measurements of the τ lepton properties provide stringent tests of the Standard Model structure and accurate determinations of its parameters. We overview the present status of a few selected topics: lepton universality, QCD tests and the determination of αs, msand |Vus| from hadronic τ decays, and lepton flavor violation phenomena.

AbstractInspired by the recent hints of lepton flavor universality violation in $$b\rightarrow s\ell \ell $$b→sℓℓ and $$b\rightarrow c\ell \nu $$b→cℓν transitions, we study lepton flavor violating exclusive $$\Lambda _b\rightarrow \Lambda \ell _1^+\ell _2^-$$Λb→Λℓ1+ℓ2- ($$\ell _1\ne \ell _2$$ℓ1≠ℓ2) decay, which is forbidden in the Standard Model. Starting from a general effective Hamiltonian for a $$b\rightarrow s\ell _1^+\ell _2^-$$b→sℓ1+ℓ2- transition that includes vector and axial-vector operators, and scalar and pseudo-scalar operators, we derive a two-fold decay distribution of $$\Lambda _b\rightarrow \Lambda \ell _1^+\ell _2^-$$Λb→Λℓ1+ℓ2-. The distribution helps us to construct the differential branching ratio and the lepton-side forward–backward asymmetry, which are studied in a vector leptoquark model. The parameter space of the vector leptoquark model is constrained by low energy observables.
